It’s always awkward to show up and realize you’re accidentally twinning with someone else.

It’s even more awkward to show up to a red carpet event… and realize you’re accidentally twinning with your coworker.

America Ferrera accidentally coordinated her 2016 Summer TCA Tour NBCUniversal Press Tour ensemble with male Superstore co-star Ben Feldman at the Los Angeles event.

America Ferrera was 31 years old when the pilot episode of Superstore premiered on November 30, 2015, and 36 years old when the final episode aired on March 25, 2021. She celebrated her 37th birthday on April 18, 2021.

Despite being the apparent lead of the show, America Ferrera had fewer appearances than some of the background actors, as she departed the series at the beginning of season 6 and only returned for the final three episodes.

Actors such as Danny Gura and Jon Miyahara appeared in 106 and 105 episodes, respectively. Ferrera’s character Amy only appeared in 103 episodes.

Ben Feldman as Jonah, Lauren Ash as Dina, Colton Dunn as Garrett, Nico Santos as Mateo, and Mark McKinney as Glenn appeared in all 113 episodes, with Nichole Sakura as Cheyenne appearing in 111.

Ben Feldman was 35 years old when the pilot episode premiered and 40 years old when the series finale aired on March 25, 2021. He celebrated his 41st birthday on May 27, 2021.

Throughout the show, a recurring gag is that Ben Feldman, who portrays Jonah, bears a striking resemblance to Scott Baio, famously known for his role as Charles in Charles in Charge (1984), which inspired Jonah to challenge Amy to sing the theme song from the show over the store’s public address system.

To promote the second season of Superstore during NBCUniversal’s press tour at the 2016 Summer TCA Tour, America wore a blush-toned plaid button-down shirt with a pale pink blazer. The Cesar Chavez actress paired her soft look with J Brand “Alana” cropped jeans in a contrasting dark tone.

The “Curb Your Enthusiasm” actress finished her red carpet look with the Nicholas Kirkwood “Eden” hexagon pumps.

So, onto the twinning…

Ben wasn’t wearing the exact same outfit as America but looked pretty close in a blue button-down shirt under a blue blazer.

Fortunately, America was pretty cool with her co-star stealing her look.

The actress uploaded a cute photo of her making a face at Ben’s outfit with the caption, “Why @benmfeldman gotta jock my style?”

Who wore it better?
